Safety in Numbers: Online Security Analysis of Power Grids with High Wind Pentration

摘要

As a global trend in clean and renewable power, wind power generation has significantly increased in the generation portfolios of many countries and is set for further growth over the next ten years. For example, the installed capacity of wind generation in Europe was near 84 GW (15% of peak demand) in 2010 and is planned to increase to 140180 GW by 2015. Ambitious targets for renewable energy sources integration, with wind as their largest component, have been also set in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The aim is for 40% of electricity to be produced from renewable energy sources in 2020, with the majority coming from wind.
